Episode 2

The Pregnancy

We no longer met at the coffee shop. That was a ceremonial we all inwardly missed. Work
at hand submerged that easy-going interlude of our lives. The wrenching transformation from talking about action and committing to it had become profusely clear.

Our much needed secluded operations center was secured. It was in an inconspicuous
location, outside of town, where prying eyes would not readily monitor our comings and
goings.

Though cramped, the quarters allowed for a conference and organizational room separated from the calm that those occupied with continuously evolving technical procedures. When it became necessary to break from our labors another room set with a couple of cots, allowed for a brief respite ... a few winks of refreshing slumber.

Amazingly, never once did this group, regardless of the pressure, ever deteriorated to
unproductive discord. Disagreements in procedure became a question of assigning them to plan (a) or (b) and so on. In due time we knew one plan would be unanimously accepted and become our starting point.

As the months went by our skills and confidence grew proportionately. Targets, outline, and time tables were nearing completion.

The day of finality came. We all took a deep breath, patted each other on the back for a job well done, lifted our glasses and toasted the adventure that was ready to begin. Will we become overnight heroes or appear on the ten most wanted list?

Episode 3

The Birth of Operation Shut Down

Our decision to start off with a soft ball approach was meant to announce our intentions to the world. This we believed would gather support and induce others to act in the same fashion. The initial thrust involved sending a salvo of connections to all communication exchanges of every government agency operating in the USA. Every communiqué they generated would carry a flash page announcing our existence and intent. This was the beginning of a counterattack against “powers secret war to destroy Americas sovereignty.” It was fitting to go into battle with some sort of slogan. We took our rallying cry and graphic from a popular “W.W. 2” catch phrase, modifying it slightly from “Kilroy
Was Here” to ...

KILROY IS BACK

AND WATCHING YOU

Our equipment was mobile. All our transmissions would emanate from unsuspecting ISP
sources. This entire first counterassault should be accomplished in the blink of an eye,
so to speak.

The day for action came and went without a hitch. The delivery was made. There was no
turning back. If we ever had doubts about our commitment they were now once and for all laid to rest. We waited, impatient for the results.

The very next morning every source of media had the event on their front burner. No one knew quite how to pigeonhole it. It wasn’t a dreaded virus wrecking hard drives. It wasn’t a foreign government emptying our data bases. It surely didn’t seem to be a stupid prank. One thing they knew for certain from e-mail and call-ins, the people were approving of the slogan. Public sentiment was gathering and there was no doubt it was in our favor. Everybody wanted someone to delve into government’s goings on. They all wanted to know “WHAT IS GOING ON?”

We had taken the first step and it was a success. It was a time to relax gather our wits and
prepare for the next.

Episode 4

The Newborn Baby Is Creating The Growth Of A New Era

In the days to come the media in particular the internet was besieged with a call to arms that government had not seen before and did not have a plan that could readily squash this style of revolution. There spinmiesters were in a spin. Websites which were normally subdued on this subject were openly engaged in recruiting and educating new groups. This newborns arrow had hit its mark straight and true.

While all this gratifying response continued we kept a watchful eye on the preposterous
responses every talking-head of power was spewing forth. It was obvious they were taking our opening salvo seriously. What was also obvious they believed it could be squashed, buried and soon forgotten. They didn’t believe or understand we had only begun to fight back.

It became time to release our next weapon. We chose the politician who was screaming foul loud enough to be heard across the ocean. He surely had something to hide. This is not to say he was alone in his dishonesty.

Getting into his mail account required a bit more script than pasting our opening message on their communications, but it had been part of what we had been learning. The results, though astounding, were not surprising. We posted the entire file on bulletin boards throughout the net and it took off from there. The lead-in was ...

KILROY IS BACK

AND GOTCHA

The quandary then developed. Should the media concentrate on the need to indict and
prosecute the politician or go after the messenger that disclosed his criminality. Still operating in their normal contemptuous fashion the story suddenly disappeared from mainstream media reporting. We were ready to bring it back.

This time we produced two more files. What followed echoed the first report only more so. Would this initiate the required investigations? No! Instead every government investigative agency was trying to capture and destroy the culprit/patriot responsible for reporting criminality. The uproar from the populace became deafening. Our enthusiasm for the eventual impact our project to save America would have, was becoming brazenly dangerous. We had to collect ourselves and cool our exhilaration. There were many more steps to follow in our crusade.

Episode 5

The Baby Grows Up

We had been posting demands as before on various bulletin boards, instructing the IRS to investigate the three culprits exposed by us. As before it spread like wildfire. As before no mandatory action would move forward. Again this was no surprise. The powerful protect each other in a way no legal process can do them in. We were ready to apply more drastic measures.

Our next action disabled the entire ancient collection of computers the IRS was using. The only screen that would come up on their system was ...

KILROY ASKED

YOU IGNORED

The publics jubilation was beyond description. Who doesn’t have a grievance with that
unlawful agency? The tide was turning. Every TV news channel, radio talk show, newspaper and .com was supporting us. Go get-im Kilroy became the chant echoing from every constituency. If we could do no more we had brought the country together in a common cause. They were waking up to lost freedoms. They were questioning the globalization hype. They were now asking the right questions.

We were prepared to escalate our offensive.

Episode 6

And All Gods Children Gathered

The clamor for information was now a background din wherever people assembled. Their
appetite for information had become unquenchable. News trivia had completely disappeared. They now had something to sink their teeth into.

Militia throughout the country were raising there voices in approval, standing by to prevent governments forceful elimination of this non-violent free speech revolution. The Washington D.C. mall was packed from end to end with supporters listening to the outcry from speakers that were tuned in to this long in coming revolutionary phenomenon that was redirecting the tools of modern technology back against the rogues that abused it.

For the moment, all that was going on had no immediate effect one could hang their hat on. The power structure, in their ivory towers, were confident they could weather the storm and emerge unruffled and stronger for the experience. That attitude had to be attacked and was to be our next aggressive operation.

The stock exchange and major banks were hit with a virus that ate away their hard drives.

This time it was serious and they knew it. Corporations were in a sweat. We posted an
update of this event.

KILROY PICKED

YOUR POCKET

We had taken on the giants and were not resting easy. This attack reverberated throughout the world. We were constantly looking over our shoulders, realizing the jeopardy we had put ourselves in.

During all that was happening, our President had kept out of view. He could no longer refrain from appearing before the public, in a public forum, and submit himself to a question and answer format. The time, place, and questioners was agreed upon.

We would do no more. Our efforts could be carried to no higher rung of the ladder. From now on it was up to the public to carry the ball. We had brought John Q. Public into direct communication with the leader of our country. Once again a message was posted.

The End

Consider The possibilities.

A computer hacking group best known for creating tools for hijacking computer systems is turning its hand to civil disobedience and plans to release an application that could scupper government and corporate censorship around the world.
